Wed, 22 Aug 2012 01:30:50 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=171857#comment-124632It all depends on kobe and if he’s ready to concede his role as “alpha dog”. This won’t work with Kobe averaging 27 pts on 43% shooting. I think he’s much more mature then in 04 when he forced shaq out cuz he wanted to be #1. If that happens I expect the lakers to be back in the finals facing my celtics for one last grudge match.

Of course he’ll claim the Lakers won’t be any good, he got knocked out of the playoffs by them more than a few times. What a chump. A chump with an ax to grind.

Sun, 19 Aug 2012 06:59:43 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=171857#comment-124137This is just a very silly comment !

kobe can’t check smaller, fast guards. They typically leave him standing at the top of the key. Westbrook would go for 40, if kobe tried to check him.

Nash can’t guard anyone on the Thunders team. Insert Steve Blake, that will be a comedy show also. Westbrook will be practicing new dunks on dude. Goudelock has a nice shot but he can’t do anything with the Thunders backcourt either.

Howard will be in foul trouble the entire game and will foul out, trying to block Harden and Westbrook shots.

Sat, 18 Aug 2012 18:15:10 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=171857#comment-124049Perkins is capable of limiting the impact Howard can make on a game and Ibaka the same thing on Gasol….Perkins has no offensive game though and Ibaka’s is still developing but it would be a battle down low…No question Westbrook has the advantage on Nash as Nash has slowed down and never could defend so it would be up to Westbrook to drive and force Howard to help and hopefully get him into foul trouble and it would be Sefolosha on Kobe not Durant, and while Sefolosha is a great wing defender and can force Kobe into some bad shots, we all know you can never stop Kobe…Durant against MWP I don’t even need to comment on…I think it would be a 7 game series but I think the Thunder are more than capable of beating this team

Bruce is jealous the Spurs didn’t make the kind of deals the Lakers did to improve. Just a jealous crybaby who gets to watch his ancient Spurs bite the dust as a cellar dweller next season.

Bowen underrates Howard’s effect on this series. Howard averages 18.9 pts on 55.8 FG% and 14.2 rebounds when playing against Perkins in playoffs, and that was with another dominant big in KG to help him. Ibaka will have to focus his attention on Gasol and can’t roam around as much get his spectacular weakside blocks.
Sure Westbrook will torch Nash but Westbrook torches 90% of PGs in the league yet Thunder don’t win 90% of games.
Also Dwight put up a 20 pt 22 rebound game with a herniated disc, I think he will be just fine after surgery.

And the last 2 superteams both made it to Finals their 1st seasons, so I’m not overly worried about “taking time to gel”.

And he thinks Kobe’s going to be defending Durant he’s foolish. But the way, who do they have to guard Kobe? Thabo? The guy he scored 42 on in Game 5 last year? Ok. Not to mention the Lakers now have a better bench than OKC.

I mean really? lol.. it shouldn’t be a surprise that Bruce Bowen would be against the Lakers. Just watch him on TV when questioned about the Lakers, or something pertaining to the Lakers is being discussed.. the hatred he feels is all over his face.
